Meyer Memorial Trust Headquarters
Using Wood Procurement to Achieve Community, Equity and Conservation Goals
Meyer Memorial Trust saw the construction of its headquarters as an opportunity to use construction choices and, specifically, intentional wood procurement as a vehicle to advance the foundation’s mission.
They oriented the project to identify forest management attributes and sourcing criteria that optimize economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
They created sustainable wood sourcing criteria with partners to recognize and support forests that are managed intentionally for human health, water, wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration, and worker rights. Additionally, they have committed to supporting rural forestry-based jobs, rural communities, and innovation in Oregon by constructing parts of the new building with wood.
